The King of Fighters 2002 UM/Jhun Hoon

Normals

Close

• cl.A/B/C are cancellable
• cl.B chains into itself and cl.A
• cl.D's hitbox is quite high and will whiff on small characters like Bao, Chin and Choi

Stand

• none of Jhun's stand normals are special or command move cancellable
• s.A is whiff cancellable into specials and command normals
• s.D has a very far range and moves Jhun slightly closer to the opponent
• Jhun's stand normals all have decently far reaching horizontal hitboxes for poking
• Jhun s.A works as a preemptive anti-hop tool

Throws

Handougeki - (close, b/f + C)

• causes soft knockdown

Kai Senpuu - (close, b/f + D)

• causes hard knockdown
• throws the opponent all the way to the opposite corner

Command Moves

Soshuu Geki - (f + A, Hold for Soshuu Stance)

• Jhun send out a far reaching kick that when held puts him in a stance
• hits mid
• can combo into it and from it, though it will usually put Jhun out of range to hit
• has some frames of stance recovery even if not held

Ryouko Geki - (f + B, Hold for Ryouko Stance)

• Jhun strikes out a kick, turns his back to the screen and into a stance
• hits mid
• can combo into it, but not from it
• has some frames of stance recovery even if not held

Ryuurou Shuu - (d + B, in the air)

• Jhun lands a downward stomp on the opponents head
• Jhun will jump back 1/3 of the screen after landing the hit or if the opponent blocks
• must be blocked high so a useful tool for crouching opponents
• can cancel his air super from the hit
• it has interesting crossup quality in that if hits as a crossup it doesn't bounce Jhun away, but keeps him right next to the opponent

Stances

• note: you cannot throw, block, crouch or jump as normal in either stance and if you get hit it will knock you out of the stance. If you get hit in a stance it counts as a counter. Also Jhun adopts a hop-style dash when in stance.

Soshuu Stance - (d, d + A, hold down to maintain stance)

┗ Shuusou Kyaku Joudan - (u + C)

• Jhun swings an axe of a leg down on the opponent.
• hits mid
• can combo into Soshuu stance D for a hard knockdown and normal stance f+B
• if you drop the stance during the move you can combo into quick normal stance normals
• if you land it against an aerial opponent it causes a hard knockdown
• it is slightly plus on block

┗ Shuusou Kyaku Gedan - (C)

• Jhun slashes out in front of himself with a quick kick
• hits mid
• can combo into Soshuu stance D for a hard knockdown
• good as a pressure tool to then switch stance and go for a mixup
• it is plus on block

┗ Taikyoku Ha - (D)

• Jhun shoots his leg straight out stomping the opponent's midriff.
• causes hard knockdown
• relatively slow move, but causes a guard crash on block
• can be comboed into to secure a hard knockdown

┗ Kirikae Kougeki - (B and hold for Ryouko Stance)

• Jhun quickly flips to his Ryouko state
• this allows fast toggling between his two stances so you can utilize the move desired, such as his Evade move
• you can seamlessly move between the stance indefinitely

┗ Kirikae Dousa - (b/f+B and hold B for Ryouko stance)

• Jhun whips out a little side kick that is an effective poke at long range and deception tool
• hits mid
• can't combo into anything
• the meat of this tool is that it provides block stun to move into Ryouko stance and keep the opponent guessing from there
